Circles On A Page

Verse 1 - Her

You said the words so careful

Like they might break in half

I held my breath and wondered

If love could ever be that soft

Verse 2 - Him

I wrote you letters backwards

Hoping you would read between

The lines I couldn't say aloud

You found a version of me

Pre-Chorus - Both

Every sentence has a shadow

Every promise has a cost

We are speaking in two languages

And somehow neither one is lost

Chorus - Both

Complex love

Simple when I hold you

Complex love

Stranger when I'm cold

We keep drawing circles

On a page that never folds

Verse 3 - Her

You laugh at all my silences

Like they're some private joke

I know your moods like weather

But I can't predict the smoke

Pre-Chorus - Both

Every answer writes a question

Every ending opens doors

We are tangled in the middle

Of what we're looking for

Chorus - Both

Complex love

Simple when I hold you

Complex love

Stranger when I'm cold

We keep drawing circles

On a page that never folds

Bridge - Him

Tell me if the quiet

Is a wall or is a door

Tell me if the pattern

Is a reason to want more

Bridge - Her

You keep your heart in fragments

I keep mine in melodies

We're composing something broken

And somehow it works for me

Chorus - Both

Complex love

Simple when I hold you

Complex love

Stranger when I'm cold

We keep drawing circles

On a page that never folds

Outro - Both

Mm

Mm-hmm

We're complex

We're complex

Mm
